The current algorithm compares the peak counts in the smashed spectral flux to the RMS
in that profile, i.e. a seeing-broadened source may in principle be a 10-sigma detection if one were to integrate over it but its peak S/N is well below 10.

Bottom line -- many "obvious" sources are not being found by the default
threshold of 10. Either we should lower that or consider a peak algorithm that
integrates over a seeing-broadened profile.
